The Diamond Sword of Tor

The Diamond Sword of Tor

Robert A V Jacobs

Lulu.com
2018
sidottu
Five hundred years ago, humans burst through a portal between realities bent on conquest. With the help of the Elves from this reality, they tried to eradicate the dragons. Things did not go well, and the invaders moved the Elves to safety between realities and withdrew. The power used to move the Elves backfired through the portal damaging the invaders' reality severely, and the dimensional key in the form of a Diamond sword was left behind. But now after five centuries the sword hidden behind a disguise of steel, has found its way into the hands of Erun Oncant, Sovereign King of Cardoney. A child at play caused the portal to allow a single team of humans through, and they need to recover the key to return home. When they don't find it in the castle they kidnap the Queen, to coerce Erun into returning it.

Daisy Weal was gifted with extraordinary powers. Her early years were spent learning how to control them, learning how to fit in and learning how to be Human. But now Daisy is ten and as her knowledge of the universe expands, she discovers a monstrous being from another reality that is a serious threat to Humanity. Can her understanding of it be enough to prevent disaster? Would she have enough time to deal with this threat, before a second emerges that was trapped in another dimension. How can she know that the gateway has been inadvertently opened by a curious scientist and that the fate of the entire universe now hangs in the balance? Despite all of her efforts to maintain a front of normality against these impossible odds, she was eventually noticed and recruited into a secret service specifically for her special talents. Would those talents be enough to enable her to deal with one monstrous being, one dimensional horror and at the same time stop a madman from destroying London.

The Lost Starship

pokkari
Two hundred years had passed since the disappearance of Daisy Weal, and the flagship of the Star Fleet, HMSS 'The Daisy Weal', named in memory of her, was heading towards the desolate planet of Cren to deliver an archaeological and survey team. When passing through a binary system, an accident happened, and a beam of energy from an unknown source penetrated the ship killing all passengers and crew instantly. The ship's semi-sentient bio-processor took evasive action, and escaping on emergency thrust, it inadvertently twisted space and performed an unintended, and previously thought impossible, hyper jump. As a result, it ended up completely lost, but finds that it has been programmed with an overpowering urge to find a way home. This is the story of that journey home and of the many civilisations that were encountered, of changes that were made, of friends that were met, and of the life that it was given.

A phone call in the middle of the night alerted Larry Dexxman to the death of his wife Penny's friend Stella. It seemed to be a simple mugging, but what should have been a straight forward investigation turns major when the bodies start to pile up. Initial enquiries reveal that Stella's past, and her present, were shrouded in mystery, and when the frequent trips that she took before her death lead to the Department of Work and Pensions whose office in London is unaccountably destroyed in an explosion, the puzzle deepens. The investigation moves to Stella's last employer, Bytesize Systems Ltd, who were contracted to develop an AI solution for the DWP, but before any progress can be made, the owner is brutally murdered in a hit and run. Larry, despairing that he will ever get a handle on the puzzle is not as surprised as he should have been when the whole thing is brought to a head by his home being invaded by armed intruders.

It all started when Larry Dexxman received a letter more than twenty years late, which cast doubt upon the official verdict of accidental death on two employees of a legal company, one of which was Larry's former wife. Several attempts on Larry's life, when there is no discernible reason for them, drag him ever further into a web of lies and deceit.It seems to involve espionage, and is believed to be centred on the law firm of Parkes and Parkes, until links back to a former adversary are found. All of the main suspects are already dead, so his attention is inexorably drawn back to the law firm.Finally things come to a head, leaving Larry and his colleagues trapped by two people consumed with the desire to see them dead in the slowest and most painful way possible. Now, the only question that he has left to answer is whether or not this will actually be his `time to die' after all.

Having run away from parents that he claims are abusive, he and his sister had been living rough until she disappeared.Larry visits the boy's parents, in Cromwell's Seat, a village some ten miles outside of London, only to hear that MI6 are investigating suspected espionage centred on the local police station.Dragged reluctantly into that investigation, while trying to solve the disappearance, he is suddenly arrested when the boy's mother is found hanged from the seventh tower of a series of fifteen carrying new power lines.The murder of a constable in an unusual manner, a face seen, and vaguely remembered, an MI6 agent who is not quite as he appears to be, a reluctant traitor, the almost fatal shooting of Penny and the death of someone who had come to be his friend, finally brings everything to a head at the foot of the tower.

The Bible Without Theology

The Bible Without Theology

Robert A. Oden

University of Illinois Press
1999
nidottu
In this thought-provoking volume, Robert A. Oden Jr. advocates stripping away the theological and historiographic biases that underlie modern biblical scholarship in order to arrive at a nontheological historical reading of the Bible. Oden calls into question a scholarly tradition that accepts biblical writers' views of themselves and their neighbors at face value and reproduces a view of Israelite religion as divinely guided and inherently superior. Using cross-cultural and interdisciplinary methodology, Oden investigates three biblical issues--the clothing of Adam and Eve, Jacob's name change to Israel, and ritual prostitution and Deuteronomy--in light of extra-biblical evidence. He also challenges scholars' assumptions of Scripture as monotheistic and proposes treating biblical narrative as myth rather than as historical fact.
